Chicken Tenders Preparation

    Soak the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into strips and soak them in buttermilk for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.

    Prepare the Breading

    In a bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

    Whisk the egg in a separate bowl. Remove chicken from buttermilk, dip in egg, then coat in the flour mixture.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken
